We’re approaching the one-month mark of the 2026-27 NBA regular season, and it’s been a rough go for fantasy basketball managers trying to dodge injuries. Case in point: Lakers superstar Luka Dončić sat out Sunday’s game but still managed to deliver earlier in the week (more on that below).

But if you’re back here, you’re enjoying your second full season of Yahoo High Score fantasy basketball. As always, the top point total from each player each week is what counts toward your final goal. Let’s take a look at the perfect lineup from Week 3 and how the top performers fared. One of the players had a historic performance.

Luka Dončić: As it was mentioned above, Dončić wasn’t able to play on Sunday against the Pistons due to a back injury. But to start the week, Dončić produced his usual gaudy stat line, scoring 42 points with 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 2 steals to make this list. If there was a poster child for High Score fantasy, it is Dončić.

Keyonte George: George exploded for 39 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists and a combined 5 steals and blocks against the Pelicans. Utah struggled in back-to-back games before facing New Orleans, but again, that’s the beauty of High Score — all it takes is one. He did leave Sunday’s contest with an ankle injury, which is something to monitor.

Victor Wembanyama: The Spurs’ big man made fantasy basketball history by tying Bam Adebayo for the highest point total in High Score with 110. Adebayo’s legendary 83-point game from last season got it done. But Wembanyama’s stat line was a bit wilder: 52 points, 24 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 8 blocks. He almost had a 52-24-10 triple-double with blocks. We may not see another fantasy output like this all season.

Nikola Jokić: The Joker is going to pop up plenty on this list throughout the season. His High Score on the season so far is 85 points, which is low by his lofty standards. The perennial MVP candidate is also dealing with an elbow injury that may hold him out of Monday’s contest to start Week 4. Not good. But Jokić also collected his third triple-double of the season with a 32-10-11 line against the Raptors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo: Antetokounmpo has been one of the more steady options in fantasy basketball so far this season. He has eight double-doubles, including two triple-doubles. The Heat split a California road trip against the Lakers and Clippers, but Antetokounmpo posted 65+ fantasy points in each contest. Managers of the star are excited for the Week 4 schedule — at Sacramento, at Utah — to start things off.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Things have not gone as planned for the Thunder to start the season. Injuries have piled up with Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace all out long term. Now, Jaylin Williams is on the mend, so the team traded for Nique Clifford via the Kings. But Gilgeous-Alexander has still been a strong fantasy asset (per usual), averaging nearly 30 points per game with decent category coverage. With multiple rotation players out, more opportunities may benefit Gilgeous-Alexander from a fantasy perspective. The two-time MVP will need to continue to step up each game.
